Granola and Dailies have one thing in common: neither sends a bot into your call. Granola listens to your computer’s audio and turns your own jottings into finished meeting notes. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam. The difference is what is left afterwards. Granola states that it saves no audio and no video, so its result is text. Dailies keeps the picture, and cuts up to eight captioned vertical shorts from it.
Checked against Granola’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people who give their best advice in calls and want it as captioned vertical shorts to post, which takes a recording of the picture.
Granola
For people in back-to-back meetings who type a few notes during the call and want them completed into clean notes, action items and follow-ups, with no recording kept.

Granola is an AI notepad. Its desktop app for macOS and Windows listens to your microphone and your computer’s audio during a meeting on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or any other meeting app, and no bot joins the call; mobile apps for iOS and Android cover in-person meetings. You jot notes as usual, and Granola completes them from the transcript into finished meeting notes, with action items, follow-up emails and project plans, and a chat to question past meetings. Notes are private by default and can be shared. It transcribes 31 languages on desktop and 17 on mobile, French on both; its interface is in English only. Granola states that it does not record or save audio or video at any point: the audio is cached for transcription, then deleted, and its help centre says it has no plans to support audio or video recordings. It offers two optional ways to tell participants: a message in the meeting chat and a watermark on your video.
Both tools work from your own computer, and neither sends a bot into the call. Granola passes the audio to its transcription and keeps the transcript and the notes; it states that it saves neither audio nor video. Dailies records: the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own.
A short is cut from footage. Granola’s help centre says it has no plans to support audio or video recordings, so a call that went through Granola leaves text behind, and no clip can come out of it. Dailies starts from its recording: it picks the best passages itself, removes silences, filler words and false starts, reframes on whoever speaks and burns in animated captions, in fifteen styles.
Granola’s notes go back into your work: action items, a follow-up email, a project plan. Dailies’ shorts go out: you download each one in Full HD and post it on LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Dailies writes no meeting notes, summaries or action items, so it does not stand in for Granola there.
Granola transcribes French on desktop and on mobile, and its help centre states that the app’s interface is available in English only. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
No. Granola states that it does not record or save audio or video at any point during the call: it transcribes from your computer’s audio and keeps the transcript and the notes. Its help centre adds that it has no plans to support audio or video recordings.
No. Since Granola saves no audio and no video, there is nothing to cut a clip from. Dailies records the call in Chrome and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes after it ends.
Not when what you need is notes. Dailies writes no meeting notes, summaries or action items: it makes shorts. Written notes and content to post are two separate jobs, and each tool does one of them.
With neither. Granola works from your computer’s audio, and can post a message in the meeting chat when it starts transcribing, an option you choose. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam.
It transcribes French, on desktop and on mobile, among 31 languages on desktop. Its help centre states that the app’s interface is in English only. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
